PHOTOS: June 16 and 17: Having missed the 1920s and '30s, some 6,000 enthusiasts recreated the fashion, music and dance of that era at the Seventh Annual Jazz Age Lawn Party on Governors Island. The event drew would-be flappers and Gatsbys, roadster owners and tap dancers waving ostrich fans. There was a paper-moon swing and a show of daring wool bathing suits. (Oh, the itch!) Michael Arenella and his Dreamland Orchestra, above left, and the Gelber & Manning Band, above right, kept toes tapping. Gregory Moore, a top-hatted singer, above, and a few of his friends brought the Ziegfeld Follies to life -- if only for a moment. (PHOTOGRAPHS BY BILL CUNNINGHAM)
